Okuma SLV Fly Reel

Okuma SLV Fly ReelOkuma SLV Fly Reel - A great looking reel, but the real story is that it's a very good entry-level reel.

Okuma SLV Fly Reel - Cast-aluminum reel that is surprisingly tight-fitting, with very little wobble in the spool. It has plenty of line & backing capacity without being too bulky, it is a very light-weight reel for its size. It's also a good looking reel, but the real story is that it's a very good entry-level reel. Like most Okuma reels, this one offers great value for the dollar.

A good buy. I landed a double digit Bonefish on a 7/8. I have 3 total including a 8/9. I do have a problem attaching the reel to the rod. The reel base seems too thick but i do get the job done.

Great reel except on icy days

I love fishing with this reel. However, I found on icy winter days, the drag will freeze up on you. If you are breaking ice from your guides, the drag isn't far behind in freezing.

I purchased the 7/8 wt. for a pike fishing expedition to Canada, Northern (Saskatchewan). Put it on an 8wt. Fenwick HMG w/Rio 8wt intermediate "Trout" line with 125 yds of 30lb braid for backing (it all fit nicely). I made my own leaders, 5' of 50# mono & 16" 30# steel leader. Caught dozens of 35" to 40" Northerns and countless smaller ones. The drag was EXCELLENT, never came close to the backing and seemed to dominate the larger Pike. NO failures, had a blast! My son WON the trip On a Sportsman's News Drawing! Thanks a MILLION!

Really a great reel, especially for the price. Have two 4/5 models that I use for small streams. Recommend the next size up when buying. I use the 4/5 w 3 wt line and about 50 yds of backing. Also have an 8/9 which has worked well in salt water. Very we'll built.

I bought the 7/8 because I liked my 5/6 so well. I catch 20 to 23inch fish pretty regularly on my home waters and these reels handle them beautifully . These are a great reel for the price. I would give one as a gift.

Ive had one of these for a few years now. Can't beat the reel for the price. I have beat the heck out of mine and it just keeps going. I have caught thousands of fish on it.

This is a kick butt reel for the price. It is lightweight, smooth and has a killer drag system. I really like this reel!
